I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman

Mrs. Stonyground saw a picture of a Hindu goddess with lots of arms and declared, “That must be the Hindu goddess of multi-tasking”.

Actually I think us blokes can do multi tasking, on weekends I provide my family with full English breakfasts and this consists of grilling, frying, microwaving, and washing up all done with perfect timing and nothing gets overdone or burnt. But then Mrs. Stonyground is really good at reading maps so maybe our family is a bit odd.

Wow I almost missed this genuflecting to the new brazen idol I created in the likeness of our “Author”. A huge towering old man with a beard and a stern look of consternation…..Wait I plagerized the image of god wait where are the lightning bolts, the famine, the burning wrath????? Maybe Author is a more benign omnipotant incorporeal being!

Idiots.
It’d sound less ignorant of all of you if you did not celebrate thinly veiled pagan holidays, masquerading as Christian holidays. (Go ahead, look up Yule, or Eostar – That’s Easter to you – or even the true meaning of Halloween)
And also, try to keep in mind that the fifth day of every week is named Thursday, an anglicized form of Thor’s Day; thus, still keeping his name on your lips.

I created an Atheist / rational thinker store, mostly out of anger and frustration at the general publicâ€™s stupidity and/or apathy about just these kinds of things. Check it out if you likeâ€¦ I keep all of the prices as low as is possible through zazzle in order to get as much out there as I can and help spread the word that weâ€™re not going to take this shit anymore. http://www.zazzle.com/briman232*

Actually, a God who created people he knew would annoy him, is that so hard to believe. I mean, of course, it is irrational, but then, who isn’t? I “created” two people (my sons) who often times annoy the hell out of me – and I did know that this would happen beforehand – but I went and had them anyway. (And I don’t even regret it… escept when they broke off the DVD-tray of my computer, because they stepped on it to better reach my desk and “borrow” my pencils.) But seriously, anyone who ever fell in love, married, had kids, joined some club or society, went on a trip with friends or visits his parents knows beforehand that it’ll be hassle, annoyance, heartache and harsh language. Why do we do it? Cuz it’d be blood lonely otherwise. Just as the universe would be bloody lonely for any monotheistic deity without some sentient creatures to get into rows with and make up again afterwards every now and then. God (if there is such a being) made us to love him. And real love – other than the silly sunday school crappy poetry harmony crap idea of love – is never without hurt, fights, misunderstanding, and misery. In fact, it sucks. It’s just better than being without. (Of course, we might have made him for the same reason…)

The pig thing is one rare case of practicality. In Europe and the mid east, they didn’t store the meat well, didn’t cook it hot enough for long enough, so eating pig meat would make them sick. It was a very different story in Asia where people knew how to cook the pig properly.

Same story with kosher and halal slaughter, it was one way to have meats last longer. With the development of refrigeration it is all null and void, but religion simply cannot move with the times.
